It also handles acceleration if enabled.\n- The `show` method maps the star's position to 2D space and draws it as an ellipse, creating a zooming effect. It also draws a line from the previous position to the current position to simulate motion.","project_id":958,"created_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:35.394800Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":57636,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":31881},{"message":"I want make them faster","project_id":958,"created_at":"2024-03-29T01:06:40.063132Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"human","code_id":57640,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":31882},{"message":"To make the stars move faster, you can simply increase the initial value of `speed`.

The size of the asteroid is made slightly larger to differentiate it from stars.\n- Uses the `map` function to adjust the asteroid's position and size based on its `z` value, simulating it moving towards the viewer.","project_id":958,"created_at":"2024-03-29T01:08:07.665121Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":57643,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":31885}],"assets":[{"project_id":958,"creator":null,"cloudinary_id":"hun7dhuuky3dt4e33nmn","deleted":false,"id":2568,"created_at":"2024-03-29T01:07:56.952353Z","name":"asteroid","resource_type":"image","tags":null}],"messages_sent":3,"comments":[],"steps":[{"title":"Create Star Zoom Effect","instruction":"Implement stars zooming towards the player with options for constant speed or acceleration.","created_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124186","project_id":958,"complete":false,"step_number":0,"updated_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124189","id":4879},{"title":"Dynamic Star Patterns","instruction":"Generate dynamic patterns of stars to create an immersive experience.","created_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124290","project_id":958,"complete":false,"step_number":1,"updated_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124291","id":4880},{"title":"Customizable Speed","instruction":"Add a feature to customize the speed and intensity of the star zoom effect.","created_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124342","project_id":958,"complete":false,"step_number":2,"updated_at":"2024-03-29T01:05:29.124342","id":4881}]}
